I may have done the same. I started seeing people on here getting pushed back again and panicked again. I called dealer and got them to send me a copy of there report on my truck and it shows ETA of 11-1 but a start date of 10-26 then I'm thinking 15 days to ship and panic.

Congrats! Now the ever painful waiting game of receiving it. I'm going on 3 weeks since it shipped from KTP

I may have screwed up my self, made myself over anxious, with how fast the truck would be built. it may actually take 5 to 7 days to build. I was thinking just the final assembly. But if you take the whole build from raw materials to final it may take a full 5 days at least to build. Thats what I am thinking now so I can make myself relax a bit.

Your vin is ahead of mine (76553) and mine is in transit, I would guess yours is in transit as well. You can confirm that with Ford chat or even better your dealer can give you more specific location if you bug them a little. Dealers can see the location of the truck if they dig a little. Most dealers don't waste the time tracking every vehicle but DO have the ability to do it for you. As close as you are to KTP I'm guessing yours will never hit the rail which should speed it up substantially. Rail is historically much slower than shipping by convoy. Good luck!

After build date last week and not done, ETIS populated build date of yesterday (18-10-2016) this morning. One step closer. As of yesterday, chat had not changed ETA date. In reading shipping comments, can I call FedEx and have them pick it up and deliver it? LOL.....seriously

"Less front fenders" I believe simply means you have not ordered an F-450 with the wider front fenders to cover the wide-track axle.

that maybe final assembly, watching one video of the truck plant they also show them forming all panels out of raw stock and then assembling them.

I just spoke to my dealer, my ETA is 17-23...but the transport company doesn't think they'll be able to liberate mine from the sea of vehicles in the transport yard on this end until early to mid next week. Rather a bummer. They did say they would tag it "expedite" but I can't imagine that really means much.
